I'm working on getting a 7 dialed
I've done 1 in my life and I need to get it down quicker.
I can get to the 5 but after the first 360 the 180 is slow, and I can't get my shoulders around fast enough for a 7...any tips?

first throw some really tucked up 5's on a smaller sized jump, get them absolutly dialed then go to a larger jump and pop/spin as hard as those 5's on the little jump and just commit and think 7 all the way.

hmm maybe set your rotation better and remember to look over your shoulder, looking down lessens the rotation and sends you into the backseat

haha I dunno we've gotta build it.
If the ski patrol doesnt blow it up its going to be just a 15-20 foot jump...it's got a natural downhill landing.
I'm just jumping off of tables (without skis) and trying it for now

i had the same problem, you just got to go to a little bit bigger jump and throw yourself to the 7. if their are no bigger jumps then throw yourself like you were spinning a 9.

you need to just stay tucked longer. once you can do five just keep looking around. the hardest part is not getting a seven around it is landing on the right axis so that you do not land backseat.

if you cant get buy 5 its probably because you dont look over your shoulder the entire time. sounds like your spotting the landing at 3 so u stop at 5. mayb try cab5s cause that will get you used to the last 3. but you should also get on a tramp or a diving board, may work better than "benches
